Grand National Odds: Check out the latest betting for Saturday's race at Aintree
Gordon Elliott's Delta Work is currently the 8/1 favourite for the 2022 Randox Grand National, which takes place at Aintree on Saturday afternoon, but there's a whole host of notable names at the top of the betting for what should be a wide open renewal of the world's greatest steeplechase...
A stunning winner of the Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, where he downed stablemate and dual National hero Tiger Roll, Delta Work will look to emulate that old rival by using the Cross Country as a springboard to National glory, but he has a brace of challengers for favouritism and that is last year's third Any Second Now and the Becher Chase heroine Snow Leopardess, who are both trading at 9/1.
Escaria Ten will be another shot fired by the Elliott gun and he was last seen finishing second to Any Second Now in the Bobbyjo Chase, and he's next in the betting at 12/1, while other prominent figures in the betting include 14/1 chance Enjoy D'allen and 16/1 shot Longhouse Poet.
Emma Lavelle's Eclair Surf has attracted huge support in recent days with wet weather set to hit Aintree over the coming days, but the Classic Chase hero sits outside at the top-40 runners at the moment, so despite being backed into 14/1 that dour stayer may not event get his chance to line up.

Henry De Bromhead's Minella Times was a stunning winner of the race 12 months ago, but the Rachael Blackmore-ridden star will face a much tougher task this time around as he will have the burden of top weight, but he's still well fancied at 16/1.
Colin Tizzard's Fiddlerontheroof (16/1) was just touched off in the Ladbrokes Trophy earlier in the season, and he will bid for a big handicap success at Aintree at the weekend, while Lostintranslation (80/1) will be another from the Tizzard yard aiming to bag the coveted prize.
Burrows Saint (22/1) will fly the flag for Willie Mullins, who bids for Grand National glory, while others that catch the eye in the list of runners include former Triumph Hurdle hero Farclas, who is a 25/1 chance and former Scottish Grand National winner Mighty Thunder, who is a 40/1 at the time of writing, but could prove a popular each-way play for punters.
Two For Gold (50/1) chased home Fakir D'Oudairies in the Grade 1 Ascot Chase and will be aiming to hand Kim Bailey more success in the Grand National, while former Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Santini will line up for Polly Gundry, and is available at 50/1.
